Would like to know the name of the tool used to disconnect the lines to the condenser, and if it is difficult to use. I have a 1993 ford mustang GT with 5.0 engine and 5 speed transmition.

Answer
Hello and thanks for the question...I'll try to help.
Yes there is a tool for the removal of lines in an AC system. It isn't a specialty too persay, but a general tool in the AC repair business. What it does is slip over the line and uses an internal lifting ramp to release the spring lock. When this is done the line can be rotated and pulled back to remove it. There are a few different sizes and are color coded. You should be able to pick them up or rent them from a parts store.
Hope this helps,
Erik
